Oh, I see where we're disagreeing. What I'm saying is that these prophets are bullshit artists. I think that's obvious at this point. And they made the mistake of making a very specific prediction that did not come true. And further, the Bible is clear about how to spot false prophets.

What I'm saying is, they are known bullshit artists, and we can see them using psychological manipulation tactics to make excuses for themselves about why they were wrong (according to them they weren't wrong, they always have an excuse of some sort).

So if we know they're bullshit artists, we can see what kind of techniques bullshit artists use whenever they're exposed to be frauds. And when we see what those techniques are, we can also learn to spot them when they're used in other communities besides Christian fundamentalist circles. For instance, tons of people in this community have been using the same exact tactics as those "prophets" have. It's a good way to weed out the bullshit artists on this community as it is to spot them in other communities.

I think you and I can agree on this: people who somehow always find a way to find an excuse for their failed predictions are bullshit artists. Honest people have no problem admitting they were wrong and learn from that. Insecure people, and liars, and grifters are the ones always making excuses. And it's useful to know how to spot those kinds of people.
